For fuck's sake, why do they make mods for a 20-hour game made more than five years ago, with a crude engine and a quick selling ticket on a Star Wars license?

Modders are truly autistic.

 

[The Vanished One]

Jason, everybody knows already.
Also, in true Codex spirit, in the first reply Wyrmlord bashes the modder, whose only fault is having been fast and hard working.

It's not like Codex is some uniform hivemind.

The rest of the guys are the ones who care about a restoration mod being shipped out fast; I only wondered why so much effort is put into one very very small game from ages ago. My bitching is totally isolated here. So you don't have to worry about any singular double standards in the Codex or anything.

 

[The Vanished One]

I know, I know, I was just thinking about the TG thread and how it turned into a drama factory, enjoyed by many.

This.

 

[The Exar]

The Codex is as retarded as ever.

 

[racofer]

The Codex is retarded as always.

Fixed.

And for these people that don't care about the game, there sure is a lot of butthurtt on this thread already.

It wouldn't have lasted so long if everyone hadn't been waiting on Team Gizka.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

I'm kinda sad about this. It's like the ending of a good movie, you don't want the story to end, even if the attention whores villains were defeated and the people are rejoicing

 

[WhiskeyWolf]

For what I see it's still faaar from over, don't worry, TG is working on it.

 

[racofer]

This is just the end of the prologue. Now the real drama will ensue, fear not.

 

[DriacKin]

So, have any of you guys actually tried this thing?
Is it worth replaying the game just to see the new content?

 

[Stereotypical Villain]

I considered it... but then i recalled what an awful game it is and loaded up a new scenario in HoMM 3.

Autistic individuals display many forms of repetitive or restricted behavior, which the Repetitive Behavior Scale-Revised (RBS-R)[32] categorizes as follows.

* Stereotypy is repetitive movement, such as hand flapping, making sounds, head rolling, or body rocking.
* Compulsive behavior is intended and appears to follow rules, such as arranging objects in stacks or lines.
* Sameness is resistance to change; for example, insisting that the furniture not be moved or refusing to be interrupted.
* Ritualistic behavior involves an unvarying pattern of daily activities, such as an unchanging menu or a dressing ritual. This is closely associated with sameness and an independent validation has suggested combining the two factors.
* Restricted behavior is limited in focus, interest, or activity, such as preoccupation with a single television program, toy, or game.
* Self-injury includes movements that injure or can injure the person, such as eye poking, skin picking, hand biting, and head banging.[3] A 2007 study reported that self-injury at some point affected about 30% of children with ASD.

I completed with a "Light-side" character (Jedi Watchman for the emphasis on skills - best way to experience as much of the game as possible) and plan another run with a "Dark-side" char (to see what happens with Darth Nihilus).

So far the storyline is rather more intelligible but there isn't a significant amount of difference, bar the HK Factory (although it still remains horribly unbalanced).

The mod doesn't change the fact that it wasn't a decent game in the first place. But for whatever reason, I still like it - go figure.

All in all, more dialogue, bug fixes (triggers, companion influence), HK Factory.

 

[deuxhero]

Can the mod be used with skip Peragus? Handmaiden for females?

It doesn't matter, I'm too lazy to uninstall M4-78, waiting for the patch (I have an FE7 playthough to keep me occupied until said patch exists anyways).

 

[Monolith]

So, is it necessary to play KoTOR 1 to enjoy the sequel? I'm not sure I want to waste my time on a BioWare RPG, but I've heard a lot of good things about KoTOR 2, so I'd like to give that one a try.

 

[Satori (original)]

So, is it necessary to play KoTOR 1 to enjoy the sequel?

No. Even so Kotor's a nice way to waste 14 hours, unless you're looking for Codex Cool Points there's no harm in playing 1 especially if you're a Star Wars fan.

 

[Darth Roxor]

So, is it necessary to play KoTOR 1 to enjoy the sequel?

Well, it's the same situation as with 'Is it necessary to play NWN2 OC to enjoy MOTB?'. There are some references to characters or events you might have no idea about, but they become clear in time.

And there is a cleverly done synopsis of Kotor1's plot in the starting level.

I'm not a fan of Star Wars. Actually, Kotor being a Star Wars game was initially the main reason why I didn't give much of a shit about it. Later, it's been what I've read in reviews and here. Kotor 2 seems to be different.

That's good news, thanks. I'll skip the first.

Just checked the Team Gizka forums in the hopes of finding butthurt. Check out how many of the threads are locked. I'd say I get more pleasure from seeing Team Gizka shamed than from knowing I'll get to play a complete TSL. Those fuckwits totally deserve this.

I only got the first game because Best of PC (Amazon still has it) was only 5 dolars more than Jedi Outcast stand alone.

Except that a quick look says all the locks but 1 are unreleated (one nonsense topic about your favorite icecream flavor, most of the rest are about the leak). I found one topic about this release.

I love how all of the gaming blogs are talking about this now. I hope that cunt Dashus is ashamed.
